When it comes to producing high-quality labels, cutting might seem like a small part of the process—but it’s one of the most important. At Label Solutions, we specialise in custom label cutting techniques that not only ensure flawless results but also bring significant benefits to you by being cost-effective, fast and sustainable.

So, what exactly is custom label cutting? Simply put, it’s the process of cutting printed labels into their final shape and size. But it’s far more than just trimming edges—it’s where precision meets creativity, allowing you to customise every detail to suit your product, packaging, or brand. Let’s walk through the range of cutting methods we offer and the advantages they bring.

Special shapes

For custom die-cut labels, we use a custom cutter which opens the door to creative design. Whether you need an elegant curve, a playful shape, or a label that wraps perfectly around an unusual container, custom shapes can make your product stand out and grab attention.

Perforation cutting: Let’s rip into something new!

Perforation cutting adds a series of small cuts to the label material, allowing for easy tearing or folding without compromising the look or function of the label. There are two main ways of using perforated labels;

  • If only the label itself is perforated, it will allow for an easy tear, for example if the label is intended to be used as a tamper-evident seal once it’s applied.
  • However, if both the label and back lining is perforated it creates a label which can easily be torn off. This is especially useful for promotional coupons, product tags, or tickets where part of the label might need to be removed or separated by the customer.

Butt cutting: Seamless results, no waste

Butt cutting is all about maximising material use and minimising waste. Labels are cut edge-to-edge without any gap between them and is ideal for rectangular or square labels where the artwork does not go over the cutting edge.

These options are all in addition to our 4000+ stock cutters of rectangles, squares and circles!
